Strobist Info: Snooted SB-26 @1/64 power from the top, slightly behind the dice. Vignetting emphasized in LR, but was already there because of the snoot.
ps. I forgot to mention that I used another SB-26 @1/64 power from the camera left to light the face from the dice from the left.

I love the lighting! The streaks of light along the edges really defines the dice very well. If I'm being super picky, I think the die on the far right should be a 4 or a three. The six adds a little more visual weight (not to mention you've got another six right next to it) so it makes the image feel a little off balance.
I also really like the subtle texture in the table/floor. My only question: did you convert this to B&W or is this actually the color version??

Sieht sehr gut aus. Ein wenig mehr Licht von rechts unten wäre, glaube ich, gut gewesen. Dann hätten die Würfel noch etwas mehr Tiefe.

Thank you guys.
Stephen, I think that showing the same number twice gives it more of a random feeling than totally distinct numbers, which would look more arranged to me.
The dice are actually red and I changed red to black in the b/w conversion. Here is a shot straight from camera:
And here an amber version:
;-)
What I am not to happy about is the reflections on the front side of the upper dice.
Kerstin, I actually won them from the devil or that's his story of the events. I just had to leave my soul with him.
Jens, true, that would have been an option. And btw. your comment made me realize that I forgot to mention in the strobist info that I used two strobes.
One reason I did it the way I did was to give it more dimension, but the major reason was that I liked it good enough to not fetch a third strobe. Or to make a long story short: I am a lazy as.

Hallo Bibo, hi Mariano.
Bibo, ich habe mir gerade mal Deine Fotos angeschaut. Ich finde nicht, dass man Deine mit denen Marianos vergleichen kann - wg. des grundlegend anderen Ansatzes bzw. Betrachtens des Themas Fotografie.
Und wenn schon doch bewerten, dann doch bitte anhand von objektiveren Kriterien als mag ich oder nicht oder dynamische vs. statischen Inhalten. Ich würde da Kriterien vorschlagen wie: Bildausschnitt, Belichtung, Kontrastreichtum, ist das Bild knackig, hat es eine erkennbare Aussage, ...
Mir gefallen die Würfel und sie sind inhaltlich, technisch und fotografisch gut umgesetzt.
Grüße
Bo
